MIAMI (AP) - A federal judge tentatively approved a $25.5 million settlement of claims that U.S. troops plundered the riches of Hungarian Holocaust families from a Nazi train.
U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz called the participants "peacemakers" and said the settlement gives the government "the opportunity to step up to correct an injustice that may have occurred 60 years ago."
Under the settlement, reached last week and accepted Thursday by Seitz, the Claims Conference on Holocaust issues will oversee distribution of the settlement money to needy Hungarian survivors.
